Where Siding Meets Roof

Bent into an l shape.

Where siding meets roof.

I see most guys leaving the old step flashing and hardly anyone removing the siding and reinstalling ice shield and step. Some manufacturers of exterior wall coverings require a minimum of 2 above the roof s surface. This flashing is typically field fabricated from a sheet of 26 ga. Galvanized sheet metal bent at a 90 degree angle i e.

A trim that is used to join the ends of two panels. Often the exterior wall covering is placed directly onto the surface of the roof when it must be a minimum 1 1 2 off the roof s surface. The most common application is the conversion from horizontal siding on a wall to vertical siding on a roof gable. I made this video this morning and i hope it help explain the flashing wall detail where the siding meets the roof.

Step flashing is used to provide a water tight connection where roofing adjoins a vertical juncture. Homes with gables at different levels on the roofs often have siding that meets the roof line.
